The film is set in the Museum world in a turning point, where the national museums have to deal with their colonialistic history. The National Museum of Finland returned thousands of everyday objects taken from the indigenous Sámi people back to them. Filmmaker Suvi West takes the audience behind the scenes of the museum world, revealing a visual, philosophical, and spiritual realm. She seeks a connection with ancestors through old museum objects, eventually arriving at the collective pain points of the Sámi people. How can the damage caused by outsiders be repaired so that collective pains can be left behind?

This keenly observed film creates a profound statement about the legacy of colonialism as it vividly expresses the sustained soul-destroying impact on every person, particularly when they’re Indigenous. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 09/11/2023
4.5/5
This is a quiet and thoughtful film with slowly building power. It will leave you awed by the resilience of its subjects yet angry that they needed it. Go to Full Review Tina Kakadelis Film Obsessive 09/10/2023
Máhccan is an ode to a place and a people made by someone who intimately feels their pain. Not just those who are living, but those long gone. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
